I know variants of 'core' have been on the metal scene for awhile now, and surely location matters here.... but all the new bands cropping up around me in their 20s are playing this garbage. Never cared for it. I miss the 90s/ early 2000s, when trad and doom may not have been the primary genre, but were at least in a bit of a heyday. So much excellent music throughout that period.

Honestly and truly though, nobody with a little time to explore can complain about any absence of genre. The musical landscape is easily navigated these days, and full of exciting new things. It's just a matter of what's more popular - going off the beaten path is Always an option, and you'll always find something new around the corner.

People who say they don't like metalcore are like people who say they don't like pizza when they've only ever had Pizza Hut.

That's palatable - but it's also a pale shadow of several thrash songs, thus not even a true representation of the metalcore genre. Why listen to core that's tipping a hat at thrash, when I can just listen to actual thrash?

I guess that's always been my beef with metalcore, really. It's always either heavily punk influenced - and I don't like the vast majority of punk music - or it's stepping so far from the actual definition of the genre that you could hardly call it core anymore.

Everything isn't for everyone, bud.

They were literally the first metalcore band. It started as basically a second version of crossover thrash in the early 90s and by the time you ever heard the genre it had become so influenced by In Flames that it wasn't even recognizable.

it's simple, most people get stuck in a time warp during the best time of their life, usually late teens early 20's why? because thats the time in your life when you had all/most of the privileges of adulthood but very few of or none of the responsibilities of adulthood I call it "life's sweet spot" and what ever you listened to at that time in your life holds a special place in your mind.

If I had to pick a decade it would be the seventies, but one of the problems for me is that I can only listen to the same stuff for so long before it starts becoming a bit monotonous. I also am aware that there seem to be some songs that I never grow tired of listening to.

I believe there is always good contemporary music out there, and I have found much, but it may require a bit of effort, or if you're lucky maybe the YouTube algorithm will deposit some pearls every now and then.

You're gonna have to explain that one, because I always thought the opposite as the temporary popularity of metal in the mid 70's and then the resurgence in the 80's even influenced non metal music it changed the structure of songs making the long guitar solo more popular even in many rock and pop songs.

Don't expect an explanation. Elphenor just hates metal, he doesn't think he has to validate or support that belief. If it's not punk it's worthless.
